I have 100 hours to run 100 miles and drink 100 beers in a virtual event we call the Triple Century!COURSE\: Cottonwood Trail (2.6km) + Brunette Headwaters Trail (1.8km) + Avalon Trail (0.8km) + Southshore Trail (3.4km) + Pavilion Trail (2.4km) = 11 km
My strategy is to run as many miles as I can on the first day and drink beer immediately after spreading the remaining miles and beer over the next 76 hours. I'll be running loops around Burnaby Lake which is 11km per loop. I'd like to run about 9-11 laps (99-121km) and would be grateful for any company who would join me for a lap or six .
Please note that this is a solo event\, not a relay...you can't drink my beers while I run.

Rik has comitted some honey brown ales and wasabi peas. I'll do up some popcorn with parmessan and see if I can score some Guiness between now and then. Bring yourself and whatever you figure will add to the party.
Sibylle has another committment\, so we're going to start the show at 7\:00 pm. If Pano still has it\, I'll try to get his copy of Running on the Sun\, (another Badwater video) and make it a double-feature. If he can make the trek in from Surrey on a Friday night\, maybe Ferg will join us?
Kindly RSVP with a comment below. Call me at 604-904-6554 if you don't know my address.
If you can't make it or are sitting on the fence\, here's a trailer.

Why\: Well\, last year I threw myself a 100 miler birthday party to celebrate my 37th and we had a great time with lots of support from fellow FA&rsquo\;ers. \; This year the tradition will continue but will now be called Hyson's Hiatus. \;The reason...I am sidelined with an achilles injury that will likely keep me on the sidelines\, so it is my turn to support the fools who have unfinished business on the course and anyone else who joins in the festivities.
Who\: Anyone looking to spend a couple of days enjoying all the BP has to offer\, you can expect to see the Fools out to finish their business on the course. Don't let the distance keep you away\, we are going to be out there for a long time and welcome the company of our fellow FA'ers.
Where\: Meet at Panorama Park in Deep Cove\, North Vancouver\, BC
When\: Saturday\, April 25th\, 2009 at 4\:00 am
Route\: The Hyson's Hiatus course will consist of three out and backs from Deep Cove to St Andrews Rd (the road crossing before the hydro substation at Millstream/Craigmohr)
Climbing\: There will be lots of up with an equal amount of down.
Aid\: Be prepared to be self-sufficient. There should be water at Deep Cove\, Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge washrooms\, and Grouse Mountain washrooms. Of course we will also have access to our vehicles when we return to Deep Cove at the end of each loop. Since it is a birthday party you can expect birthday cake or a reasonable trail facsimile at random points throughout the run.
Schedule\: We'll start at 4\:00 am with a rousing chorus of happy birthday and the traditional blowing out of the candles and then we'll be off into the early morning. I will need to confer with the Fools to figure out what might be an appropriate pace and will post a detailed schedule closer to the date. I suspect that we'll be out on the trail until early afternoon on the 26th in time for the post run beer and lunch.

WHAT\: See how many North Shore peaks you can run up and bag in a summer. All but the island mountains qualify as munros (in excess of 3000 feet) under the Scottish peak-bagging system.
DATE\: Between July 1 and October 22\, \;2009.
WHERE\: non-technical or less-technical (Class 3 or easier) North Shore mountains (listed below). Although I can't list them all\, I'll record peaks in \;Fraser Valley\, and Squamish to Whistler peaks (although if push comes to shove\, and there is a tie\, the listed peaks will be counted). Official totals below are in brackets.
RESOURCES\: For routes\, etc. it is recommended to visit Bivouac.com or clubtread.com.
RESULTS\: Email me your mountainous conquests\, with the dates\, and I will post ongoing standings. As I&rsquo\;m lazy\, wait until you have three or four bagged before sending them in. \;
PHOTOS\: Photos posted so far\: http\://www.flickr.com/search/show/?q=baggerchallenge2009
Please post your photos\, too\, via the CFA Flickr site\: \;http\://www.clubfatass.com/photogalleries (instructions here\: \;www.clubfatass.com/help/image \; It's easy!). \; Please tag your photos\: ClubFatAss ClubFatAssEvents BaggerChallenge2009 (space separating each tag on the flickr template)
WINNING \;TIE-BREAKER MECHANISM\:
In the case of a tie for first place\:
1. non-core peaks (i.e. those not on the North Shore and not listed) will not be counted\;
2. if still a tie\, the bagger with the most photos posted on \;the CFA \;Flickr website will win\;
3. if still a tie\, the bagger with the most \;unique \;bags (i.e. peaks \;that no one else visited) \;will win\;
4. if still a tie\, \;the bagger with the most obscure/difficult bags (at the completely arbitrary discretion of the \;host) will win. \; \; \;
NO \;SANDBAGGING\: \;all claims to bagging a peak must be submitted as promptly as possible (in most cases\, within 3 days) of the actually climb (perhaps more if you have to stay overnight)\, and climbs of more than two weeks old will be stale-dated. Amnesty for submitting late peaks\: \;October 4th
PRIZE\: \;The winner will be the proud bearer of the CFA Bagger Quaich cup for the year\: \;the appropriate cup from which to drink a winter whisky and contemplate how awesome you are.
There will be an auxiliary prize for the person who draws the most other people into the cult of peak-bagging.
BAGGERS' BANQUET\: \;To cap off the bagging season\, we will be hosting a barbeque for all bagger participants and their significant others. Bagger burgers (meaty and veggy) will be served. The Bagger Quaich will be awarded (unless the host wins\, \;in which case there will be awkward silence on this topic).
Date\: Friday\, October 23rd. From 6pm.
Place\: \;1368 West 21st Street (near Capilano Elementary School\, in \;Pemberton Heights).
RSVP jeldac "\;at"\; shaw "\;dot"\; ca
Entry\: There is no fee and you don't need to be a member of Club Fat Ass to participate in a Flash event\, however whining is not allowed. That being said\, many of the peaks listed should only be attempted by those with the experience and fitness level of a typical Club Fat Ass member (i.e. ample mountain running experience over long distances).
No registration is required but please send your report of bagged peaks (wait until you have 3) to David (as a member you can click on David's user name and message him\; if you are not a member please use the comment function below).
Important safety considerations\: All of these adventures are potentially dangerous.
Mountains marked with a ** are scramble ascents or otherwise exposed or otherwise remote and undeveloped and should only be attempted by experienced climbers wearing helmets\, etc. Don't try these routes in anything but perfect weather.
Use great caution when rocks are wet -- slipping is the cause of most accidents on North Shore mountains.
Always run/hike with a buddy.
You are responsible for your own well being and safety and should be self sufficient.
Here are two useful lists of "\;MUST \;HAVE"\; survival items that all participants should carry\: \;

What\: There are hot springs in the mountains on Pitt River. \; \; They are hard to reach. \; Word is that they are quite beautiful. \; This is an adventure that aims to reward the adventure-seeker with not only with an adventure\, but with a relaxing dip in the springs!
Why\: Because you've never been there before.
Who\: Given that the hot springs are deep in the back country\, this event is best suited to experienced back-road cyclists. \; By invitation only.
When\: Date is TBD in consultation with those who are interested in joining the adventure. \; It has to be a Saturday or Sunday and it would be best to do this on a sunny\, spring day. \; We would aim to start and finish at the head of Pitt Lake during daylight.
More\: Getting to the springs involves getting to the northern end of Pitt Lake\, a 22K \;trek up a logging road and scaling 200M or so down a valley. \; In order to accomplish this in a day\, I recommend we take a boat up the lake and mountain bike to the springs. \; I \;recommend the details be worked out with comments below

Mix and mingle with some old running friends and make some new ones. \; There will be a slideshow of images from past CFA events running in the background.
The focus of the evening will be a slideshow and tales from CFA members and their big adventure runs. \; These will include Dave Smith's Iceland Ultra\, the incredible adventures of the Fools and the Baggers Challenge.
Please join us for our next Steering Committee meeting. \;
Ever wondered who at Club Fat Ass makes the decisions and keeps the Club running? \; This is your chance to find out! \;
We hope you will join us for our annual "\;open house"\; meeting. \; This special \; meeting is one of 6 regular Steering Committee meetings we have over the course of the year. \; It's special\, however\, because we invite CFA \;members and friends who have expressed interested in contributing to the management of the Club to get a feel for what we do with the hope that they will join the committee.
You can expect a typical 90-minute CFA \;steering committee meeting\:
At this meeting\, we will clarify some of the roles that are currently vacant and answer questions about those roles. \; We are particularly looking for enthusiastic folks to chair the Membership\, Event Host and Sponsorship committees\, as well as some help with media relations and marketing promotions (any tweeters out there?). \; We will also \; ask attendees what they think the Club should accomplish over the upcoming year.
Please drop me a line if you can attend the evening.

Custom distances OK too!
Just to get it out there! Exact gruesome \;details \;and distance of \;loops \;to follow soon. Somewhere around \;6 to 8 loops.
Late Hallows eve fat ass style!
Coldstream Chilly Willy 100 will be run in \;figure eight loops around the three bays of Kal lake down through \; Haunted Deep lake \;then around Coldstream ranch. This course \;will be a very pretty\, on single and double track trail with devilish moderate climbing and small bits of \; evil technical here and there. "\;Only road is the parking lot!"\;
Aid\: I will have a \;Haunted \;Hut set up for you to use as your aid station in the parking lot of Kal Lake \;or at the Ranch - not sure which yet. You will be responsible for your own aid other then water and hot soup at night\, tricks and treats.
Course will be marked at major turns with "\;creepy things"\; \;you \;just have to stay on the designated trails. Maps will be handed out at start of race.
Weather could be any thing from freezing with snow to sunny at Kal Park it doesn't matter it's always beautiful and runnable.
You can google Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park to get a look at at this glorious area. I will put pictures up when I figure out how too.
